COMPETITION PROMPT
Write a poem or story about a mirror struggling with the fact that she has no identity of her own. (What could this be symbolic of?)
Who Am I ?
This time a code I can’t decipher
This time I stand in solitude
In this maze I am trapped in
A reflection
Of whoever stares at me
But never truly my identity
I am many faces
Yet my own is foreign to me
I always show the world what they want to see
And never truly me
Whoever that might be
Do I exist
When you’re not looking at me?
Who am I?
If not a copy
I dress the way you do
Talk the same way too
Is this who I really am?
Or do I just follow your view
I wonder what I would do
If I was free to choose
Would I look different
From when I’m with you
I wonder what I would sound like
What kind of sight
The question always lurks in my mind
Who am I
If not you ?
